Description
Croft House is a building that has been converted into offices. It features a plain stucco facade facing Norton, topped with a parapet and hipped slate roofs. The structure has a basement and three stories, with a five-window arrangement of sash windows: 12-pane windows on the upper floor, long 8-pane windows on the first floor, and shorter 8-pane windows on the ground floor. The two ground floor windows on the left side have marginal panes that include some coloured glass.
The central entrance door is located in an original glazed porch, which is elevated and accessed by curving stone steps with 20th-century iron railings on either side. The porch is made of timber and has angle columns topped with entablature blocks and an open pediment. The front of the porch is filled with a tripartite sash window featuring a 4-12-4 pane configuration and a double elliptical fanlight above. There are half-column responds and 20th-century six-panel doors on each side. The original front door is a six-panel door with a traceried fanlight, panelled reveals, and soffit, set within an open-pedimented doorcase supported by piers similar to those found on Glendower Houses.
An additional one-storey range with a parapet has been added to the windowless left end, extending over the basement area. This section includes one sash window facing Norton, similar to the two windows on the right side, and another sash window on the end wall facing The Croft. The right end of the building has two 12-pane sash windows on the upper floors and a 20th-century inserted door on the ground floor, positioned to the right of centre.
There is a mid-20th-century single-storey cafe range attached to the building, which connects to Glendower Houses. This section is also made of painted stucco with a parapet, featuring bays divided by pilaster strips and small-paned windows, mostly arranged in pairs, along with double doors.
At the rear facing The Croft, the building has three 4-pane sash windows on the upper floor—one on the left and two on the right—along with a canted bay on the first floor to the left, an arched window, and two 4-pane sashes on the right. The ground floor has a 20th-century toilet block addition on the left and centre, with a 2-pane sash and a glazed double door on the right. The basement is located to the right.
Inside, the southwest room features a six-panel door, panelled shutters, an elliptical-arched recess with fluted pilasters and an arch, and panelled reveals, all topped with a plain cornice. The northwest room has later shutters and has been expanded into a one-storey addition.
